Scholar Warrior Monk

Think. Do. Feel.

The writer Marquis de Vauvenargues said “consciousness of our powers augment them”.

In TanDao the symbols of the scholar, warrior & monk represent those parts of who we are — with a focus on awareness and integration all three. In geometry, it is with three sides that an enclosure is formed and structure begins. For all things, it is the measure of possibilities.

While working on the Scholar Warrior Monk piece, intended for animating our idea of mind/body/spirit, we took a look at the it and thought the video itself was interesting and fun. In the philosophical — or cartoon moments of our lives may we all find the right combination of action, contemplation and spirit!

We would also like to note the passing of American newsman Tim Russert, who embodied the integrated, passionate spirit we all seek. From him we learn to honor our roots as much as our branches. He will be missed…and he will always be with us.

In Awareness, Toni Josephson
